Seconded. I don't think footage of this one is going to air for a few more weeks, and I can't find a copy from the live show, sooooo if anyone else has seen it, we just need one more.

Shibata is so good he got me to care about an Ishii match

Seconded, this was great fun (and sometimes terrifying) but not quite on the level of the two matches that followed.

MOTYC: Shinsuke Nakamura vs. AJ Styles, Wrestle Kingdom 10, 1/4/2016

Nthed, this was an amazing display from two of the best wrestlers in the world. The fact they're both suffering from major back problems makes this even more remarkable.

Bard Maddox posted:

MOTYC: Kazuchika Okada vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi, Wrestle Kingdom 10, 1/4/2016

Nthed, an out-of-this-world display from arguably THE two best wrestlers in the world. The ending sequence/false finishes culminating in Okada FINALLY beating Tanahashi at the Dome was one of the greatest wrestling things I've ever seen, enhanced all the more by the fact I was actually there as it happened.

Okada vs Tanahashi was pretty much a MOTDC (Match Of The Decade Candidate), and easily a ***** match.
Nakamura vs Styles was a solid ****1/2 match, and I like to imagine that if AJ wasn't hurt could have easily been ***** as well.

WMOTC: Matt Hardy vs EC3, TNA Impact 5/01


Meet the new TNA, same as the old TNA. The storyline that they have been doing for the last four or five months ends up meaning nothing as the reset button has been pressed, Matt Hardy is a bitch who can't beat EC3 without help and nobody came out of this match looking good as the match quality itself was pretty lovely.

Awesome, thank you.

And they need to get him out of Mexico because he is going to die if he keeps wrestling like this. Though, he'll probably just wrestle like this in Japan, too.

If I had any hope that he'll get to have good matches as often as he has in CMLL then I'd be anticipating his return. It's funny because CMLL is largely terrible about wasting talent but he's been treated really well. Granted a lot of that may be because they knew they only had a limited amount of time to get hair and mask matches out of him.

BIG OVER
College Slice
HM: Eita/El Lindaman vs RyoSuka (Ryo "Jimmy" Saito/Jimmy Susumu) - Dragon Gate New Years Gate Kickoff in Korakuen - 1/13/2016

One of the reasons why I'm not "done" with the Jimmyz is that they can pull out historical tag teams like this. Lindaman's momentum continues into 2016 as he teams with Over Generation's highest ranked younger wrestler and they give Saito and the Dream Key holder Jimmy Susumu all they can take. The crowd is what takes this from great to an HM to me, they can't get enough of RyoSuka and Linda and Eita are willing to work a bit tweener to accomplish this.

HM: 10 Man Doi Darts Tag - Shingo Takagi/CIMA/Gamma/Masaaki Mochizuki/Jimmy Kanda vs Don Fujii/"Hollywood" Stalker Ichikawa/Akira Tozawa/YAMATO/Cyber Kong

Well the darts landed and we got one team that's Shingo, the his most recent challengers, and Kanda going against a weighed down Akira Tozawa, YAMATO and Don Fujii with the added weight of Stalker and Kong. Well this is the exact kind of match that Kong excels at and Stalker has so many good Stalker moments! This isn't going to have heated fighting though storylines and units do come into play a bit, but this is an incredibly fun HM showcasing all the facets of the Dragon Gate style worth checking out.

Also adding:

HM: Kotoka/Tanizaki/Doi vs Shimizu/Kzy/Dragon Kid - Dragon Gate New Years Gate Kickoff in Korakuen - 1/13/2016

It was a fairly standard DG 6-man to start, but the latter half of the match ramped up the pace into one big nonstop rush, and that put it into HM territory for me.

Very fun clusterfuck that features one of the Jackson boys nearly killing himself with a frog splash to the outside, Adam Cole channeling Terry Funk, Kevin Kelly getting superkicked to death, and what I assume was Mike & Maria's send off before going to TNA.
